This guy put a trojan on the clansite i go to. Now every member in clan can't even go on anything without their passes being stolen. Im running a virus scan right now and 133k files scanned,but no viruses detected. Im using Norton AntiVirus. What should i do about trying to uninstall it?

Run HiJackThis and post a log. Someone should be able to point out any rogue processes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's only if you downloaded it... You can rarely be keylogged just by someone posting something in a forum. I say rarely as there is a few Internet Explorer exploits that use images to run software on a remote pc.

If you upgrade/update your IE you shouldn't have a problem with those flaws.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I recommend Spybot Search & Destroy and Adaware, they're free to download. Spybot S&D can find around 85% of all known spyware.

IE7 has already been patched for several flaws also found in IE6. Simply upgrading doesn't make the IE security holes go away. A quick Secunia search shows 8 advisories, 6 currently unpatched with 2 (the patched 2) allowing system access.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Running hijackthis and posting a log for us to look over would be a good idea. Running your virus scan in safe mode along wide adaware and spybot S&d would also be a good idea.

I also agree that Spybot Search & Destroy and Adaware are two excellent programs that you should download and run/scan your PC with. Also ensure that after downloading and installing these programs that you check for updates to make sure they are up to date before you scan.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is also really worth having a Firewall installed on your PC as well and a decent free one is Zone Alarm.

well..if u r using Norton u can;t install spybot. The only one u can install in ad aware.

I have Norton and Spybot and the both work fine.

Yar. Even after all the issues I've had with Norton, it never had issues with spybot being installed. :?

Actually the worst one (the flaw in the JPEG header, which I'm guessing is what Jagex announced about a few years ago in "Fansite Users Hijacked") was patched before IE7 was released, along with other flaws. If you are using IE you should have automatic updates turned on so any newly discovered flaws can be patched.

I'm not talking about 3 year old flaws here. The 8 I'm talking about in my last reply are for just 2007 which, again, yielded 2 brand new remote exploits shared between the IE6 and IE7 code base. Even if you do have automatic updates turned on, you're still vulnerable until 'patch Tuesday' roles around, which could range from a few hours to a full month.

Didn't know that. :o

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Haven't used IE for a long time, I got Firefox now. I wonder if it has a 'patch day' too.

FireFox is patched fairly quickly if a severe flaw is found. There is no set patch day. It's rolled out as soon as it's finished and tested if it's a major issue or rolled up into a larger fix and released a little later (like 2.0.0.2 was).
